A voice from CHMA's radio past is speaking again.
The crew at Mount Allison's campus community station is gearing up for its big move to the University's new Student Centre and has made some interesting discoveries during the process.
When moving a wall of floor-to-ceiling CD shelves, which had been bolted in place for a number of years, CHMA’s summer events co-ordinator Mark Brownlee discovered hidden messages written on the wall behind.
The messages, dated 1999, were from former CHMA station manager Liam Allen and junior engineer James Marcogliese.
A blank old-school music log — one of the forms that on-air hosts have to complete during each show — was also posted on the wall.
“We all chuckled a bit when we discovered the hidden messages,” says Brownlee.
“These Allisonians must have thought their messages would be long hidden or that there would be some great technological strides in the new millennium — it was anticipated that robots would be giving the music library its next coat of paint.”
While robots won’t be painting CHMA’s walls this time, the staff is excited about their move to the new Student Centre.
Station manager Pierre Malloy says the new space will provide some exciting new opportunities.
“We’re going to have a much bigger studio space and recording area. Which means we'll have more room for live interviews and live performances.
We’re also going to be better able to record local bands and performers so we can help them get their music out there. It’s a great jump forward for CHMA.”
